Public bug reported: If I have a gnome-terminal open with an ssh session ongoing and the network drops out (remote host shuts down unexpectently or the wifi drops out), gnome-shell becomes completely unresponsive. I can't even kill the process by dropping to alt+f4 and running `sudo killall gnome- shell`. While in the terminal, I'll occasionally see the message:
task gnome-shell blocked for more than 120 seconds which research seems to imply the kernel is panicking. At first I thought this was a fluke, but now I can reproduce it each time by opening an ssh connection and then hard-rebooting the remote host of plugging out the network cable. I would expect this to hang gnome- terminal, but not my entire desktop. My only recourse is to reboot.
